On Sunday 2nd June a large contingent from Ardingly Rowing club travelled to Weybridge to compete at the 2013 Weybridge Ladies' Regatta, bringing home two trophies.
Sarah and Linda were victorious in WMasC 2x and Caroline, Helen, Ursula and JoB bought home the medals in WMasB Nov 4x(+) with David B as cox.

The Juniors in the club had a very busy day with the WJ13 4x(+) winning through to their final, losing out eventually to Henley Rowing Club.

On Monday 6th May, six members of the Women’s Squad travelled into the Thames Valley to compete at Marlow Spring Regatta.
In the three-lane final of WNov 2x, Abi and Rachel were very competetive, closing rapidly on their more powerful but technically less proficient and fading opposition from Maidenhead and Burway RC, in the last minute of the race.
Their efforts were not enough to secure a win, but they crossed the line only half a length down on Burway

The WMasC 4x of Jo, Sarah, Linda and Nicola were edged out of a place in the final by a mere foot by Henley Rowing Club,
despite experiencing a clash of blades with Marlow Rowing Club which made it necessary to stop rowing at the half-way mark.

On Sunday 21st April, Ardingly Rowing Club organised a morning of racing for members of the Senior Women, Intermediate and Junior Squads. Over thirty members of the club took the opportunity to gain regatta experience, learning the procedures that govern racing at open events whilst enjoying close racing on the reservoir

Racing took place in two waves, allowing crews to change between waves and individuals to race up to six times. In near perfect conditions, crews both male and female, ranging in age from J14 to Masters C, took part in multi-lane racing over the 1000m course. At the end of the morning, Junior members of the club were rewarded for their efforts with a ‘rowing themed’ coffee mug, kindly donated by ‘Rock the Boat’.

On Sunday 3rd March 18 members of the Junior and Ladies’ Squads travelled to Maidstone to compete at the Maidstone Spring Small Boats Head.
The club was represented in all three divisions by crews with a wide range of racing experience

The very junior end of the club was represented by Sarah & Florence who recorded the fastest time in WJ13 2x (12:14) ahead of Sarah (again) &
another Sarah (13:20), also from Ardingly RC.
Zak also represented the club as the only J12 sculler at the event, posting a very creditable time of 14:47 in his very first rowing race.

On Sunday 30th September 23 members of the Senior Women and Junior Squads travelled to Maidstone to compete on the River Medway in the Maidstone Small Boats Head.
For both squads this was the first event of the new season and for many it was their first ever taste of competition.

The fastest performance of the day for the Women’s Squad was the W IM3 4+ of Sarah, Janet, Nicola and Megan, coxed by David B, completing the course in 10:32; 18 seconds behind Lea Rowing Club who won the trophy for the fastest women’s crew in the event.
Sarah and Nicola also recorded the fastest time in WMasB 2x (10:57) ahead of fellow Ardingly combination Jo and Janet (11:15).
Both of these doubles were eclipsed by Anna and Megan who were the fastest WJ16 2x in a time of 10:52.

ARC was also represented in Women’s quads by three crews.
Rachel, Carol, Jo and Anna (coxed by David B) were the quickest of the WNov 4x(+) in 10:44, with Avalon, India, Amelia and Lizzie (coxed by Abi) just 17 seconds behind in a time of 11:01 in the same event.

Hugo sculled twice; J15 1x (11:56) and J16 1x (12:57), the strong headwind in the afternoon accounting for at least some of the time difference between the two rows.
Evergreen veteran David C. raced in MasH 1x posting a time of 13:17.
